6 VALENTINE’S GIFT IDEAS FOR HIM
Sometimes finding the right gift for the men in your life is often difficult. When it comes to Valentine’s Day, you
don’t really want to be “gooey”, but finding your special man a gift can be a difficult (and that’s the polite word) chore.
Thanks to so many of my friends who handle all kinds of products and know about items I haven’t seen, I have put together an interesting collection of items that just about any man would want. (And you might find a couple of items here that you want to add to home and/or your life!)
When thinking about what to get your loved one for Valentine’s Day we always come up with the obvious: flowers, chocolate, lingerie. And while those things may be liked by many they aren’t the ideal gift for all, especially the men in our lives.
As noted by fashion historian Vivian Kelly,
“People do some crazy things for love. Who can forget that King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne to propose to socialite and commoner, Wallis Simpson? The pair were blissfully happy and widely regarded as the most romantic couple in the world. During their marriage, Edward gifted Wallis a slew of fine jewelry, such as a coral diamond and emerald choker by Cartier. It wasn’t a one-way exchange however ladies! Wallis gave Edward a watch and a monogrammed golf scorer which sold at a Sotheby’s auction for £2,250.”
While we all can’t be so extravagant, we can still certainly show our love and appreciation with simple gifts and gestures. Below are some modern and affordable options to gift your guy this Valentine’s Day.
Shaun Leon Grown n’ Sexy Beard Oil
An always great gift item is any form of self-care. For him, we love this Grown n’ Sexy beard oil from Brooklyn-based, Black-owned Shaun Leon. It’s a great way to help him feel luxurious and well-groomed. The deep conditioning oil is made specifically to maintain and manage facial hair and is composed of fractionated coconut oil that penetrates the hair shaft without heaviness.
Shaun Leon Mancave Candle
Shaun Leon also recently debuted their candle collection including the “mancave” scent which would be another great gift for him. The soy wax candle is hand-poured and crafted to bring a seductive element of design and ambiance to your home. The “mancave” scent is a complex blend of deeply traditional masculine notes of freshly cut tobacco leaf and leather, balanced with subdued hints of ylang-ylang. It might be called mancave but this intoxicating scent will be appreciated anywhere.
This scented candle is available in 4 scents. Not all are suitable for men but I am sharing the scents in case you want to gift someone else one of these fabulous candles!
- English Floral:
A beautiful blend of tuberose, jasmine, lily of the valley, and ginger; sitting on base notes of violet and peach. - Exotic Pear:
A spice blend of Anjou pear with notes of cinnamon leaf and a touch of rose and vanilla. - Mancave:
A deeply traditional masculine blend centered around freshly cut tobacco leaf, leather, and subdued hints of ylang-ylang. - Sicilian Fig:
The sweet fragrance of sun-ripened Italian figs entwined with signature notes of jasmine and sensual sandalwood.
Sky Wellness CBD Pain Relief Lotion
It may seem a little utilitarian, but no doubt that pain care is self-care. Give him the wonderful gift of relief with this collection of premium, CBD products from Sky Wellness. We recommend the CBD Pain Relief Lotion that will help him melt away muscle tension and discomfort. For an added benefit, it contains CBG – an all-important minor cannabinoid that compounds the effects of the CBD in this outstanding lotion. It also has a light eucalyptus scent that’s super clean and refreshing.
Remo Tulliani Sedona Belt
Remo Tulliani Socks
Luxury socks have been such a great trend in recent years. We love these small personal indulgences and can’t get enough of these super-luxe socks by Remo Tulliani. These designer socks feature a cushioned footbed, arch support, ventilated side and toes, and a comfortable non-binding top. The socks realize when you are moving and give comfort so profound it’s sensual.
Deanna First “Matchbook” Illustration
Lastly, what better way to show him your appreciation than going down memory lane with a personalized work of art. We love, Love, LOVE (!!)these customizable “matchbook” illustrations by NYC-based artist Deanna First. You can suggest his favorite spots or all your date places for Deanna to create. This is sure to be a gift that he will remember forever.
These are all just a few fun ideas for something different to celebrate “LOVE” this year!
